Church of the City New York

This Sunday, Pastor Suzy continued our Missional Formation series by unpacking the distinctive of Radical Daily Pursuit through the discipline of feasting on the Word. Often without meaning to, we can lose sight of why God wants us to spend time reading the Bible. This discipline is not meant to be driven by doing things for God so that He will be pleased with us, but out of a desire to commune wi...

This Sunday, Pastor Jon continued our Missional Formation series with a teaching on the first of nine distinctives and corresponding disciplines of Church of the City's radical minimum standard for discipleship. We believe compelling missional disciples are marked by three things — tangible presence, counter formation, and sacrificial mission — and the distinctives and disciplines we will be divin...

This Sunday, Pastor Jon kicked off our new sermon series on Missional Formation with a teaching on setting a new radical minimum standard for discipleship. He challenged us with a powerful reminder: the true measure of a church isn't found in its programs or teachings, but in the hearts of its disciples and their commitment to obeying Jesus' great commission. Pastor Jon called us to elevate our ex...

This Sunday, we closed out our God Comes Where He's Wanted Series with guest preacher and friend, Zach Meerkreebs, with a teaching on cultivating the altar of the region. Only when we are heartbroken over our region, as Jesus was heartbroken over Jerusalem, will we begin to prayerfully build the altar of our region through Christlike confrontation, conscreted confidence, and faithful contending. 

This Sunday, Pastor Sam Gibson continued our God Comes Where He's Wanted series with a message on cultivating the altar of the Church. Pastor Sam acknowledged there is often pain and hopelessness tied to conversations about the Church today, while offering a hopeful vision of restoring corporate spaces of seeking God through tearing down false altars, building up spaces for God's presence, and ten...

This Sunday, Pastor Jon continued our sermon series "God Comes Where He's Wanted" with a teaching on how to intentionally cultivate Godly homes and prioritize the next generation. The Bible focuses on families and households in the context of tribes, nations, and communities at large, extending beyond our modern understanding of families. With this in mind, Pastor Jon called us to commit together,...

This Sunday, Pastor Jon kicked off our January sermon series, God Comes Where He's Wanted. There is one thing we can be certain of throughout the Scriptures and stories of Church history: God comes where He's wanted. Hunger for the Lord's presence is the true secret to revival, but before we can ask Jesus to come to our homes, church, or city, we have to want Him in our hearts, and become ourselve...

This week we took time to celebrate and remember all God has done in and through our church during 2024, and heard a timely message from Pastor Jon Tyson about the heart transforming power of Christ, and the gift of peace He offers this Christmas. We are so thankful for our community in New York and beyond and hope to see you in the New Year!

This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson closed out our Advent series, To Us a Son is Given, with a teaching on Jesus as the Son of God and the true story of Christmas. Jesus' life fulfilled the prophecies about the Messiah, His ministry was marked by power and the miraculous, and even His suffering on the cross revealed His divine nature. This is the cornerstone of the Christmas story, that God's one and on...

This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson continued our Advent Series with a teaching on Jesus as the Son of Man. During the Christmas season, we often tell stories of hearts changing for the better, but what does it take for a heart to truly change? In our teaching text from Matthew's gospel, two disciples' mother ask Jesus to grant them seats of honor in His kingdom, but Jesus disrupts their understanding o...

This Sunday, Pastor Suzy Silk kicked off our Advent series, "To Us a Son is Given" by calling us to reflect on two questions over the next few weeks leading up to Christmas Day: What kind of Son has been given to us? What is His name? Pastor Suzy invited us to consider one of Jesus' prophetic names, the "Son of David," and how it highlights Jesus' ministry of mercy.   Click here if you would like...
